Villa Escudero has now earned a worldwide reputation to tourists

Villa Escudero is home to the first
working hydroelectric plant - Labasin Dam - supplying its coconut
factory and the Escudero Plantation house. It was in the early 1980s
that this plantation was opened to the public as it was turned into a
resort offering village tours, museum tour, food and accommodations.

It
gradually earned a worldwide reputation of giving its guests the
experience of how Philippine culture is depicted and visibly presents
the very rich history of the Philippines through its museum, cultural
show and the word-of-mouth of the staff who work inside the resort.
